next trip - July 29 thru August 5

The dates for the next Honduras Mission Trip have just been confirmed by Emma at Gerizem. We will be going July 29-August 5. For those of you who have been on a trip before, you do not need to complete a whole new application, but can just let me know of your interest. - Nancy

The announcement of this trip coincided with a Planting Seeds conference where the subject was postmodernism. In this conference it was pointed out that we should encourage non-Christians to participate in holistic ministries, such as mission trips. So I just wanted to share that this is true for our Honduras trips as well.

The primary purpose of the trip is spiritual, to work alongside and support a Christian community. It is important, in some sense, to know that, and to be comfortable with the environment. That said, the work we do, requires no qualifications, other than a heart for giving of ourselves to others. So, anyone who wants to go, to do just that, and join a group that is spirit-led, preparing for a week of work alongside a Christian community, ministering to all people through the church (wherever we go, we are open to the entire community) -- that is cool. You need not be a super-Christian, or true believer. - Eric
